CBS All Access subscriber numbers

Many Star Trek: Discovery fans had concerns when ‘news’ of poor subscriber numbers to CBS All Access circulated at the start of the year. Whatever the case of numbers CBS was hardly likely to ditch the show given its key role for it in the new service.

In addition to his role as showrunner Alex Kurtzman will continue to oversee the expansion of the growing Star Trek universe for CBS Studios. We will have an interview with him tomorrow.
